Microsoft announces it has perfected its newest version of Windows so it crashes BEFORE installation is completed.

Speaking of Windows... Not really a joke, but humorous nonetheless.
Our company has a policy of "OS skip" when it comes to Windows: - We are skipping Windows 8 and leaving Windows 7 on all systems for now. - We skipped Vista and left Windows XP. - We skipped Windows ME and left Windows 98. The reasoning is that every other release by Microsoft has been a nightmare that gets more-or-less corrected in the followup in-between. Here's to whatever comes after "8"... |

Our store director likes to inform us via notes on the time clock that if we don't follow rule something or other that "disciplanary" action will be taken.

There were four country churches in a small town: one Presbyterian, one Baptist, one Methodist, and one Catholic. One day, the four churches were infested by squirrels.
The Presbyterian church convened a meeting to decide what to do with the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration, the Assembly determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and that they should not interfere with God's will. In the Baptist church the squirrels had taken refuge in the baptismal font. The elders got together and decided to put a lid on the font and drown the squirrels there. Somehow, the squirrels escaped and the following week they had doubled their number. In the Methodist church, the faithful came together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any creature of God. So they carefully caught all the squirrels and set them free a few kilometers outside of the town. Three days later, the squirrels had returned. The Catholic church had the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now the squirrels only show on Christmas and on Easter Sunday. |

My wife and I were overjoyed when our new baby arrived. I walked proudly into the Registry Office to officially register her name:
"We'd like to call her Charlotte." "Sorry," said the clerk. "Charlotte has already been assigned. You can have Charlotte3549 or Charlotte_23." |

Why the chicken crossed the road?
Choose your answer.
Elementary school teacher: Because he wanted to arrive to the other side. Middle school teacher: Even if I explain it, my dear little beasts, you will not understand. College teacher: In order to know why the chicken crossed the road (and this will be in tomorrow's midterm) you need to read the textbook... from page 2 to page 3050. Buddha: Asking that negates the chicken's nature. The Bible: And God descended from Heaven and said to the chicken "cross the road!" And the chicken crossed the road. And God saw that it was good. Socrates: Do you know what a chicken is? Plato: Because he wanted to get out of the cave. Aristotle: It is in chickens nature to cross the road. Machiavelli: The question is the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justify the means. Columbus: To go where not other chicken has gone before. Descartes: The chicken crossed the road and then existed. Shakespeare: To be. Darwin: Over long periods of time, chickens have been naturally selected so they now have a genetic disposition to cross roads. Einstein: If the chicken has crossed the road, or the road has moved below the chicken's feet, depends on your frame of reference. Freud: The fact that you are worried because the chicken crosses or not the road reveals your own sexual insecurities. Paulo Coelho: The entire universe conspired to make the chicken cross the road. Martin Luther King: I have a dream that one day this nation will stop questioning if the chicken crossed the road or not. Fidel Castro: Chickens can only cross roads inside Cuba... and only if they are chased by a Yankee. Hugo Chavez: The chicken crossed the road because he is a puppy of the Empire... I smell of sulphur. George W. Bush: The &*?@! bastard chicken crossed the road because he hates American people. And he hates us because we love freedom... But we got him... God bless the U.S.A. Barack Obama: The chicken crossed the road because he wanted change. Yoda: Temptation of dark side of the force strong is. Chicken could not resist and the road crossed was. Homer Simpson: mmmm... chicken! |

Apple: iChicken has changed forever the way roads are crossed. Now, just downloading the Cross App from iTunes, every Apple approved chicken can cross Apple approved roads. Even if he doesn't want to.
Microsoft: A bug prevented the chicken from staying on this side of the road. Chicken 8 SP2 will address this issue (KB093364527) Kindle: Due to Copyright and Geo-restiction issues, Amazon had to put your chicken on the other side of the road. It's all in the small print of your TOS. Apple (2): Because it's the right thing to do. You cannot have it any other way. Every chicken have to be on the other side. Commodore: we had the first chicken to cross a road ever. But the market wasn't ready for it. Linux: because the chicken package was not supported on this side of the road. But you can change the chicken's source code as you wish. Accenture: Here's a 48 slide powerpoint showing you that the chicken crossed the road because he wanted to. We will send our million dollar bill for the consultancy ASAP. And we will keep the chicken. Nielsen: 75,46% of chicken in the consumer market cross roads. Robert Johnson: "he was standing at the crossroad and he fell down on his knees..." Eric Clapton: "he was standing at the crossroad and he fell down on his knees..." |

About Italian chickens:
Berlusconi: I am the best chicken of the last 150 years. I had to cross that road because of those communist policemen and judges who are conspiring against me. Berlusconi (2): the ckicken saw a big-boobies chick on the other side. FIAT: the chicken had plenty of time to cross the road before our speeding car was there. Prada: she was performing a fashion show for our new feather collection. Cosa Nostra: he couldn't refuse our proposal to cross the road. Cosa Nostra (2): I did not see any chicken. I did not hear any chicken. I won't talk about chickens. Ferrari F1: Vettel's Red Bull was already there. Juventus FC: he crossed the road to assign us a penalty shoot and to let us win the Championship. We paid him for that. Every Italian TV Station: Belen Rodriguez is having a baby. Her tits are getting bigger. |

When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It’s easier to eat crow while it’s still warm.
